| Conditions: | Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus |
| Interventions: | DRUG: Saxagliptin|DRUG: Glimepiride |
| Outcome Measures: | Primary: Proportion of Patients Reaching HbA1c <7% After 52 Weeks of Treatment Without Confirmed or Severe Hypoglycaemia., Defined as obtained on or before the 8th day after the last dosing day, as determined by central laboratory. Safety analysis set. Confirmed hypoglycaemia defined as: any event defined as either a symptomatic event with blood glucose level \<3 mmol/L (\<54 mg/dL) and no need for external assistance, or an asymptomatic blood glucose measurement \<3 mmol/L (\<54 mg/dL). Major (or severe) hypoglycaemia defined as: symptomatic events requiring external assistance due to severe impairment in consciousness or behaviour, with or without blood glucose level \<3 mmol/L (\<54 mg/dL), but with prompt recovery after glucose or glucagon administration. These events may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma. Plasma glucose measurements may not be available during such an event, but neurological recovery, attributable to the restoration of plasma glucose to normal, was considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration., From week 0 to week 52. | Secondary: Proportion of Patients Having Experienced at Least One Hypoglycaemic Event (Confirmed or Severe) Over the 52-week Double-blind Treatment Period., Hypoglyceamic event defined as, Confirmed hypoglycaemia: any event defined as either a symptomatic event with blood glucose level \<3 mmol/L (\<54 mg/dL) and no need for external assistance, or an asymptomatic blood glucose measurement \<3 mmol/L (\<54 mg/dL). Major (or severe) hypoglycaemia: symptomatic events requiring external assistance due to severe impairment in consciousness or behaviour, with or without blood glucose level \<3 mmol/L (\<54 mg/dL), but with prompt recovery after glucose or glucagon administration. These events may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma. Plasma glucose measurements may not be available during such an event, but neurological recovery, attributable to the restoration of plasma glucose to normal, was considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration. Safety analysis set., From week 0 to week 52.|Change From Baseline to Week 52 in HbA1c., Measured as the difference between the last on-treatment value (defined as obtained before or on the 8th day after the last dosing date), and the last pre-randomisation HbA1c value, as determined by central laboratory. Full analysis set., From week 0 to week 52.|Proportion of Patients Achieving a Therapeutic Glycaemic Response at Week 52 Defined as HbA1c <7.0%, Proportion of patients with their last on-treatment value (defined as obtained before or on the 8th day after the last dosing date), as determined by central laboratory, below the specified limits. Full analysis set., From week 0 to week 52|Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), Measured as the difference between the last on-treatment value (defined as obtained before or on the first day after the last dosing date)and the last pre-randomisation fasting plasma glucose value, as determined by central laboratory. Full analysis set., From week 0 to week 52|Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Insulin, Measured as the difference between the last on-treatment value (defined as obtained before or on the first day after the last dosing date) and the last pre-randomisation fasting plasma insulin value, as determined by central laboratory. Full analysis set., From week 0 to week 52|Change From Baseline to Week 52 in β-cell Function (as Measured by Homeostasis Model Assessment-β [HOMA-β], β-cell function as estimated by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) model. Value is derived from FPG and fasting insulin; fasting insulin values below 2.074 μU/mL or above 57.595 μU/mL and FPG values below 3 mmol/L or above 25 mmol/L are excluded (as restricted by the calculation method used). Full analysis set., From week 0 to week 52 |
